: Duane:

: If I understand your comments you are short a few parts. There are 5 rods (in front of the bows) creating the 1/2 cab arch. And 3 bows comprising the arch..

: You are missing:

: Center spacer rod (going from windshield center to the horizontal bow) Actually on the 2A this is basically a tube 5/8" I believe (with crimped and bent ends).

: Horizontal bow (goes on the top of the bow arch) This genntly curved bow is 7/8 outside diameter and has a slight arch.

: You should have two 1" curved bows with dog leg. These are the vertical bows (one on each side. They both have a hole in them and on the other side an L shaped bracket welded to the opposite side. this bracket faces front.

: the most difficult to replace items are the two brackets which attach to the windhield verticals and which function as the the hinge into which the door top is inserted.

: sdI can't give you exact measurements as the 2A is a little different than the 3A, at least in front of the bow arch.

: these bows and rods are very expensive as repros from Beachwood. count yourself lucky if you want an original style soft top.

Hey Bart,
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll take this information and go back out and rummage through the barn and maybe I can find the rest of the parts. I don't think they were thrown away. Thanks so much!!
